Well This Is Life

Well this is life


Anticipating a pleasant romantic meet,
then eagerly waiting for him to greet,
Palpitations at last going more fast,
end of the day leaving me aghast !
Well that's what life is ??

Hard work and burning midnight oil,
sweet desires as if destined to foil,
Whatever pleasant I proposed,
hard time cruelly disposed,
That's what life is !

If I stood in one queue, the other moved quick,
was kind to someone who gave me a flick,
My passion that was misconstrued,
Kept me unwontedly ever glued,
Well that's what life is ??

Why such a long life ?
and so much of strife ??

Pity we don't have all the answers, but as guests on earth we might just as well accept what fare we are served and leave when the lights go out! Congrats on your top win, Upma! // paul

Congratulations on your win for this poem, Dr. Sharma. Yes, for many happenings in our life, we just have to say "that's life," nothing else to do...Sandra
